Shameless influencer Meatball now regrets part in Philly riots, says her family is 'ashamed' of her antics

Philadelphia Riots: Influencer 'Meatball' Expresses Regret and Family Ashamed of Her Actions

The influencer known as "Meatball," who was apprehended during the Philadelphia riots this week, has confessed her remorse for taking part in the disorder. The young woman's family is said to feel 'ashamed' of her actions during the chaos.

Lamenting over Looting: 'Meatball' Voices Regret

Dayjia Blackwell, the 21-year-old who has made a name for herself online as "Meatball," expressed regret for her actions during an interview with NBC Philadelphia. This came after she had been slapped with felony charges for the crime she was publicly endorsing and recording.

"I regret it," Blackwell stated, adding, "I just prefer, you know, never loot again, stay out of trouble, never go to jail." However, her remorseful message appeared to contrast with the casual clothing she wore, which displayed the text "Aint nuffin."

Family on Frontline: Influencer's Relatives Express Disappointment

The influencer's grandmother, Vashti Fields, expressed shame and disappointment at Blackwell's actions, saying, "What goes through my mind, as a grandmother, is I'm very ashamed. I'm very ashamed to see my [grandchild] there, at that time." Fields also confessed that the incident caused her great pain. However, she suggested that Blackwell was essentially a "loving, kind, caring, business-minded person," sharing her wish for her granddaughter's better judgement in the future.

Charges and Consequences: 'Meatball' Faces the Music

Blackwell has been charged with causing a catastrophe, criminal mischief, rioting, aiding consummation, access to communication, and disorderly conduct. Fields hopes for her granddaughter's innocence on these charges but, nevertheless, insists on a public apology by writing a letter to the City of Philadelphia.

Social Media: 'Meatball's' Message to Followers

While feeling the heat of her deeds, 'Meatball' took the opportunity to leverage her followership on Instagram, where she tried to explain her side of the story. At the same time, she asked her fans to back her up financially as a sign of solidarity, including a request for a welcome home gift.

Reflections and Resolve: 'Meatball's' Plan Moving Forward

The influencer has expressed a strong desire for the charges expunged from her record, vociferously asserting that she is "not a trouble person." She voiced her shock and trauma at the whole incident, vowing to shun such behavior in the future. Despite her experience, however, officials maintain that her participation in the looting bore no relation to the preceding protests over the dismissed charges in the police shooting of 27-year-old Eddie Irizarry.
